ROW DO We DIG OUR GRAVES

We must eat or we cannot live.
This we all know. But do we all
know that we die by eating? It is
said we dig our graves with our
teeth. How foolish this sounds.
Yet it is fearfully true We are ter
ritied at the approach of the cholera
and yellow fever, yet there is dis
ease constantly ut our doors and i'll
our houses far more dangerous and
destructive. Most people lave i'll
their own stomachs poison. more
slow, but quite as fatal as the germs
of those n1aladies which sweep men
into eternity by thousands without
warming i'll the times of great cpl
denies. But it is T. mercy that. if
we arc watchfu!, We can tell when
we are threatened. The following
are among the symptoms, yet they
do not always necessarily appear i'll
the same order. nor are they always
the same III different cases. There
is a dull and sleepy feeling; bad
taste in the mouth, especially in the
morning; the appetite is change
able, sometimes poor and again it
seems as though the patient could
not eat enough, and occasionally no
appetite at all; d.lllness and slug
gishness of tie mind; no ambition
to study or work; more Or less head
ache ana heavincss i'll the head;
dizziness Oh rising to tho feet or

in the eyes; scanty ard bish-colored
urine sour taste III the mouth, fire.

the heart impaired vision, with
spots that seem to be swimming in
the ali before the eyes; a cough,
with a greenish-colored expecto-
ration; poor nights rest; a STICKY
slime about the teeth and gums
hands and feet cold and clammy;
irritable temper and bowels bound
up and costlve. THIS disease has
puzzled the physicians and still puz-
zles them. It is the co,rmonest of
ailments and yet the most colnpli-
Gated and mysterious. Sometimes
it is treated as consumption, some
times rs liver complaint, and then
again as malaria and even heart dis
ease. But its real nature is that of
constipation m,ddyspcpsia. It arises
in the digestive organs and soon
affects all the others through the
corrupted and poisoned blood
Often the whole body-including
the nervous system-is literally
starred, even Wien there is no
emaciation to tell the sad story.
Experience Las shown that there's
put one remedy that can certainly
cure this disease in al its stages.
